Spring is finally on its way; the sun is starting to shine and the clocks go back in just a matter of weeks, which means our days of home working will seem much easier to bear. With that in mind, there has never been a better time to discover how you can become even more productive and stress-free by investing in a premium laptop.

Although you might be in the market for something as wallet-friendly as possible, the Windows 10-powered HP Envy 13, for example, shows why it's worth spending that little bit extra. Its super-fast processor will make multitasking an absolute breeze, while its premium aluminium design will give your home office the upgrade it deserves.

At AO, you'll find a huge range of premium devices that provide useful features and technologies for balancing the new demands of work and home life. AO's well-stocked range of Windows 10 and HP laptops is sure to feature something that suits your needs - be it a super-thin ultrabook that will supercharge your home office setup or an insanely fast gaming laptop that will see you through both work and play.

Why Windows 10?

There's never been a better time to switch-up to a Windows 10 laptop. Not only do these devices offer powerful performance, lightweight designs and enhanced durability to keep up with all of your everyday demands, but Windows 10 will make your laptop experience more stress-free than ever before.

Windows 10 is Microsoft's flagship operating system, and like all versions of Windows, it makes your computer easy to use and navigate. Microsoft are pouring all their energy into regularly updating Windows 10, meaning the software will always be adapting, so your laptop doesn't have to.

The operating system also comes packed full of premium features that are sure to soup-up your setup, no matter whether you're working or relaxing in the evening. Microsoft's Cortana digital assistant, for example, lets you control your laptop using your voice, while its new Edge web browser makes online tasks, be it clearing your inbox or scrolling Facebook, smoother and faster than ever before.

Talking of apps, you can truly supercharge your remote working setup with an added Microsoft 365 subscription, which gives you access to premium Office apps, free online support, and a whopping 1TB of OneDrive storage. At AO, you can also enjoy 3 extra months at no added cost, on top of your 12 month subscription when Microsoft 365 is purchased with an eligible Windows 10 laptop.

There are a bunch of security tools baked into Windows 10 too, so you know your files are always being kept under wraps. Next-generation antivirus and malware defence comes built-in as standard, while support for biometric logins means you can kickstart your laptop simply using a fingerprint or a glance.

Of course, Windows 10 devices are also powerful and energy efficient, offering battery life that lasts up to 16 hours. This means that by upgrading in a premium Windows laptop, you can use it anywhere around the house, without having to be near a socket at all times. This also makes them the perfect companion for gamers, as not only are Windows PCs powerful and fast to boot, they also allow you to play, see and experience games - be it Forza Horizon 4, Gears 5 or Halo - just like the developers intended, thanks to the incredible graphics and high frame rates on offer.

And with such a variety of good-looking, great-performing Windows PCs to choose from—you can find one to match your budget, needs, and even outfit. They also and even come at a price that won't break the bank. So, go ahead, get a head-start on tomorrow, today.
